New Jersey Stage Article about Baba Babee Skazala

Nigrin: Your deeply moving documentary film rings to light the little-known story of Ukrainians, who were torn from their homes, and their nation, when the Nazis invaded the territory of Ukraine and clashed with the Soviet army at the height of World War II. Please tell us more about your film and why you decided to make it?

Bring On the Story Consultant!

Our team continues to film interviews for the archives at the Ukrainian Museum Archives, Cleveland, Ohio. However, we know that sharing these experiences with a broader audience will be better achieved through film and digital media projects. After searching, we jumped in to working with Karen Everett of New Doc Editing. Karen was an instructor at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism, which has a well-regarded documentary program, so it was a natural fit for our Director, Matej Silecky. Karen's fresh perspective and spot-on scheduling is a great asset to Baba Babee Skazala!

A Busy Week in Cleveland, Ohio

Matej Silecky & Evan Yee  continued on to Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding areas, including Parma, Ohio - the Ukrainian Village. Our time in the Cleveland area was jam-packed with interviews, location filming, visits with old friends and a fabulous opportunity to review materials at the Ukrainian Museum-Archives and interview their resident scholar, Andrew Fedynsky. We are very grateful for the support & assistance being provided by the Ukrainian Museum-Archives, and definitely recommend you visit it if you are in the area. You won't be disappointed! Many thanks also to Matej's Babcia for helping with local logistics.

After this hectic week & summer of travel, Evan returned to LA & Matej returned to NJ for the first time in months. It is time to organize our footage & plan filming for the next group of interviews.
